BLACKstreet - Joy

Michael wrote the melody to this song, with a view to including it on his album, Dangerous. Tammy Lucas added lyrics but, ultimately, Michael wasn't happy with the song and didn't record it himself.

It was then recorded by Teddy Riley's BLACKstreet, for the group's eponymous debut album in 1994. It was released as a single in 1995 - charted at no.12 on the R&B singles chart.

The remix of this song, 'Uptown Joy', sampled Michael's I Can't Help It.

Joy - Lyrics

Can't forget the dayThat she walked into my lifeIt was just the kind of thingThat was so right on timeAfter all the love changesMy heart had locked the doorThen that girl released her magicAnd made me love once more, ooh

Like the warm rays of the sunHer sweet love came shining down on me, ohAll at once turned my life aroundAnd with one kiss, she set me free

Check one check twoCan't hold back, I'm in love with you(Girl you're my joy)Check one check twoThere's nothing in the world that I won't do for you(All my kissin')Check one check twoCan't hold back, I'm in love with you(All my lovin')Check one check twoThere's nothing in the world that I won't do for you
